"This recall is unfortunate, but when used without the base these seats still provide
excellent protection. Better still, parents should get the free repair kit as soon as possible," said
NHTSA Acting Administrator Rosalyn Millman.

Evenflo has discovered that after repeated use by consumers, two alignment posts in the
Position Right™ base can become bent. If the posts are bent, consumers may have difficulty
installing the carrier onto the base. Bent posts could also interfere with proper latching of the
carrier to the base, preventing the child from being properly restrained. The kit prevents the
posts in the base from bending.

Evenflo has developed a metal clip which is easily installed over the positioning posts to
prevent bending. Owners should call Evenflo at (800) 316-4779 to obtain a free repair kit and
installation instructions.

Children riding in motor vehicles should always be in the back seat appropriately
restrained for every trip, Millman emphasized.

Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign should call
